On this Mead Friday, Got the 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: triggers fired up, Got wings today, Wings and sausages for 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: the Boys. Come on and stay a while if you can. 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Pat Forty from Sports Illustrated 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: covers college football? Is he going to be covering college 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: football this season? And also that back and forth between 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: Jim Harball and the Ohio State head coach Ryan Day yesterday. 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: I loved it. I hope that we get a game 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: between those two this year, but a little back and 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: forth there. And Harball always wins the spring and the 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: month of August. He has problems with some of the 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: other months there. But you know, back and forth there. 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: If you've ever seen that movie Momento, and it's Guy Pierce, 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: Guy Pierce doesn't remember what happens. He has very very 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: short term memory or no memory whatsoever, so he'll actually 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: tattoo things on his body to remember them. Jim Harbaugh 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: is like Guy Pearson Momento. He doesn't remember last year's result, 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: or the year before that, or the year before that 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: or the year before that. But we'll talk to Forty 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: about that coming up. Eight seven seven three d P 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com. Damian 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Lillard eleven three pointers last night, so he's got two 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: forty seven for the season, breaking his own team record 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: third career game with at least ten three pointers. That's 26 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: tied for third most all time. Steph Curry with fifteen, 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: Klay Thompson with five, Damian Lillard with three, James Harden three, 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: and of course j R. Smith in there with three 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, we say good morning to our radio 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: and TV partners, the folks and chat row. The NFL's 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: opt out deadline was yesterday at four Eastern and over 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: sixty players decided that they will not play this season, 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: no surprise. Some people are criticizing those players, but I 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 1: can't judge somebody for their personal reasons. Guys are having 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: babies or their high risk members in their family, and 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: it's tough to have one foot in when you're gonna 37 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: have one foot out and you're going to try to 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: play the sport of football, you know, the physically demanding 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: sport that it is, requires a lot of folks. It's 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: already inherently dangerous, and then you add the risk of 41 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: COVID and I know we want to see our teams 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: fully assembled, but adaptability might be the most important quality 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. The healthiest team might be the team 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: to beat this upcoming season. The number of players opting 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: out is set, and it's time to get to work. Now. 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: We have college football players who are opting out. That 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they can't opt back in. But you're 48 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: also seeing some of these smaller conferences looking to play 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: football in the spring. What's the poll question? We're gonna 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: go with mclovin. Okay, so our one was who would 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: you bet on the Lakers? Are clippers? Clippers actually won that? 52 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: Where'd you come up with that voice? I'm just trying 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: to be sexy. I know of doome effective. It's working. 54 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: So I have a poll question. It's right in your alley. 55 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: Which four no bubble team? Are you more excited about 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: the Blazers or the Suns? Because you're the only one 57 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: in this room who knows anything about the Suns. But 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: they can't be beat right now. They whooped the Pacers 59 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: last night. Oh, the Sons are a four and oh 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: in the bubble they have one. Last night they had 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the side question, who's a better shooter? Devin Booker or 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard. Damian Lillard I would take. I love Devin Booker. 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard is more dangerous. Devin Booker is a really 64 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: talented shooter. He's on the short list of best shooters 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: in the game. But Damian Lillard. If you say I 66 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: got a big game and I can have, you know, 67 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: one of those two, I'd still take Damian Lillard. Yeah, Paul, 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: you we were just talking about most upside the playoffs. 69 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: If Damian Lillard could get his team in and get 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: his team to advance to Round two over you know who, 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: that's the way you get a national attention. I mean, 72 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: everyone know, anyone knows any about basketball knows who Damian Lillard. 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: But the casual sports fan that's the way you put 74 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: your name out there. And Phoenix is a fun team 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: right now, and maybe they grow into something. Portland has 76 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the ability to be a dangerous team. The question is 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: can they get in and what are the Lakers going 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: to look like if that matchup happens there. But but 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Portland does have size, they have shooters, they have some depth. 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: If they had Trevor a reason. As strange as this 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: is going to sound, and I even said this with 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: the Rockets. He's a valuable valuable guy because he's not 83 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: a guy you have to worry about him getting his 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: touches and any of that stuff. He just is one 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: of those guys who fills in the gray area for 86 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: a team. And you know, Portland was trying to get 87 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: him to come back because he's just that valuable. Yeah, Micklevin. 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: So the other teams are the Pelicans and the Spurs, 89 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: and the King's really non factors out. The Pelicans aren't 90 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: even discussed anymore. Well, they're discussed. We discussed them because 91 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: of Zion Will last night. He played well, but they didn't. 92 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: They lost again. So they're going to go through the 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: motions the last couple of regular season games, and it 94 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: looks like it comes down to Memphis is limping to 95 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: the finish line as well. So my question was, if 96 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: the say, God forbid, the Lakers got knocked down the 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: first round and there's no Zion in those playoffs, is 98 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: that a worry for the NBA that yes, yeah, absolutely. 99 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. The numbers are down with people watching, 100 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if that has how much 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: that has to do with the social movement with players. 102 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: The fact that there's no ambiance there when you're watching 103 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: these games. But the numbers aren't great. If you add 104 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: Milwaukee against the Lakers or Toronto against the Lakers. Let's 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: say Milwaukee against the Clippers or Toronto against the Clippers, 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: you're not going to have big numbers there. I mean, 107 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Lebron is a tune in factor. They're very very few 108 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: players that people who are casual fans that that's why. 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, this is something that Dick Ever saw, who 110 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: ran NBC Sports so many years. His brilliance with the 111 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Olympics was he wanted to make sure your mom, your daughter, 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: your wife, your girlfriend, the non sports fan was going 113 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: to watch the Olympics. That's when you get the big number. 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: How do I attract you as an audience? So what 115 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: did he do? Gymnastics was featured front and center, prominent, 116 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: a lot of swimming and diving. You know, but you're 117 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: you're giving these stories that you know your mom or 118 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: your wife or your daughter is going to buy into, 119 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: and then you start to root for that athlete as 120 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: they progress in the Olympics. You know, it's not just 121 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: for us. The Olympics were programmed for somebody who's not 122 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: the you know, the hardcore sports fan and the NBA. 123 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: Your casual basketball fan would probably tune in to watch Lebron, 124 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: But what other player are they going to tune in? 125 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: Diehard fans? Of course, we're watching the Greek freak only 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: because of the nickname, and he's fun to watch. He 127 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: just there's no oh my gosh, and you start to 128 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: think of how many of those oh my gosh guys 129 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: you have, and that's why you're probably not going to 130 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: get the big numbers there. Patrick Mahomes is tune in 131 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: factor worthy because you're watching somebody who might be the 132 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: next great quarterback of all time, and that's a Kansas 133 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: City team that was fun to watch. And it's the 134 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl. But you also get people who understand who 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: is playing. You're not tuning in to see the San 136 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. As a casual football fan. The 137 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl with what's at stake, you will Patrick Mahomes 138 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: is tuned in worthy. Tom Brady is because what's at 139 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: stake with his legacy. Drew Brees tune in factor worthy. 140 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: You start to go down. Is Christian McCaffrey tune in 141 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: factor worthy? You're not gonna be playing in important games. 142 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: So when you start to think about it, how many 143 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: athletes are tune in factor worthy? If you're just a 144 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: casual fan. And we talked about Mike Trout yesterday, if 145 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Mike Trout is in the World Series, you might watch 146 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and go, okay, guy seems pretty good. He does everything right. 147 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is tuned in worthy. Bryce Harper is tuned 148 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: in worthy. Some pitchers Clayton Kershaw tune in worthy. Maybe 149 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom. But it's really it's not a 150 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: long list there. Yeah, point, You're right, there's some guys 151 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: that are great players, but you don't play in your 152 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: night around him. I was watching the Sixers the other 153 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: day and I'm watching him beid my boy, He's unstoppable. Yeah, 154 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: they have no answer. He's outside, he's inside, he is 155 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: There's nothing he can't do. But then sometimes I say, 156 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: they're going, why isn't he a bigger deal? He's not exciting. 157 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: But when you when you actually stumble upon his game, 158 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: you and you're a true basketball than you're like, Wow, 159 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: this guy has it all. Watch Jokich thing with the Nuggets. Yeah. 160 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: Greg Popovich say he reminds me of Larry Bird and 161 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard's that way. I don't tune in to see 162 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: the Clippers, but when I soak up a Clippers, He'm like, man, 163 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Kwai has got everything. I mean he's a great three 164 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: point sho. He's just not exciting. Yeah, mcloth if and 165 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: Be'd want a title, then he'd be excited. Or you're 166 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: not tuning in to watch a guy throw a back 167 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: door pass. I mean you're just not. But is it 168 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: because there not a threat to win the title? Usually no, 169 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: Kawhi is a threat to win the title, but he's 170 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: not tune in factor worthy for me. I mean, he's 171 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: just a wonderful player. I'd rather watch Klay Thompson than 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I would Kawhi Leonard. He's just he's more interesting, more exciting. 173 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curry tune in worthy. But when you get those 174 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: big numbers, it's because the casual fan is curious about something. 175 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean Tiger. The casual golf fan, even non golf fans, 176 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: still tune in for Tiger Woods. That's why whenever you 177 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: see the leaderboard and they'll get to Tiger, there can 178 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: be fifteen guys at two under, Tiger will be the 179 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: first name at two under. Because they want you to 180 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: watch their coverage. Bryson to Shambo, the curiosity is great. 181 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: Brooks Kepka, brooks Kepka. He might be like Kawhi Leonard. 182 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have to say much his game, 183 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: all right, he just he's a great golfer. But tune 184 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: in factor worthy probably not does Shambo, Yes, Tiger, Yes, 185 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: Jordan Speed for a while, Rory for a little while, 186 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Justin Thomas John Ron, Yeah, po. But what's intersued by 187 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: brooks kepca four years ago? He was playing great, but 188 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't interested in him. Then he started doing interviews 189 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: and one of the first ones I heard was on 190 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: this show, and he became He let his personality out 191 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: there and he became a character, and now you know 192 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: what he's about. It's not just hey, he's got a 193 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: tan and biceps and a nice visor. He's actually guy, 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: you know. He he doesn't wear advisor off off the field, 195 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: that big, big visor. By the way, if you have 196 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: a podcast idea, then I'd like to go into business 197 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: with you.

Charles Barkley last night on TNT had 207 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: this to say about digital fans in the stand I 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm being told by only the IT guy that it's 209 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: not playing. PAULI said, You're going to love the Barkley quote, 210 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: trust me, it's great. Okay. Digital fans actually left him speechless. 211 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: Oh okay, right? Phil in Indiana, Hi Phil, Hey Dan, 212 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. I think the Kawhi Leonard thing is 213 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: very interesting. I wanted to comment on and get your thoughts. 214 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: If he wins a third with a third team, I 215 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: think he gets elevated to the best player in the game. However, 216 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: I do think if the Toronto Raptors somehow and maybe 217 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: that greatness he has diminished. I wanted to get your 218 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: thoughts and have a great weekend here too. Phil. Thank you, 219 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: Thank you for calling. You know Kawai doesn't play or 220 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't care about the regular season, gets into the postseason. 221 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: He's obviously great and if he would do it again 222 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: this year, I don't know if he would be elevated. 223 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: We'd like to know who our stars are. We you know, 224 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: you want that personality. You want to feel like you 225 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: know a little bit more about him. I have no 226 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: idea who Kawhi Leonard is, and he has no interest 227 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: in letting me know who he is. Uh. We we 228 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: had the Charles Barkley comment here that it's worth waiting for. 229 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: Here's Charles Barkley on the virtual fans.

I'm hopeful that he's got something positive to 345 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: say because he has been on a negative streak. And 346 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: Pat forty joins us on the program. Let's start with 347 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: good news with college football. What do you have for me, 348 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Pat Ah, Well, some practices are underway, some teams are 349 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: working out actually, like you know, hitting each other, swapping 350 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: a little spit out there. We'll see if it actually 351 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: leads to real football games between different institutions of higher learning. 352 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we'll get there, but Vaigali, you know, 353 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: we're taking small steps, Dan, baby steps toward a season. 354 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: How's that? How big a news was the Connecticut opt out? Well, 355 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: I mean it was significant first FBS program to say 356 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: we're not playing. You know, that's a state that has 357 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: very restrictive state local guidelines right now, travel restrictions, and 358 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: they don't have a schedule, a full schedule because they're 359 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: an independent team ad opted out of a conference. So 360 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to know for sure if this 361 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent health and safety related versus the 362 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: logistics of the season as an independent that nobody really 363 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: cares about. It's not notre dame as an independence Yukon, 364 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: but it's significant that somebody said no, we're not going 365 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: to do it. They won't be the last, I don't believe, 366 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: but they certainly are the first. How big are the 367 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: opt outs so far? With the players themselves, I think 368 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: they're very big. You know, a lot of big names 369 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: going and there's a lot of speculation and rumor about 370 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a whole bunch more in the future. 371 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of them are kind of holding 372 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: their cards right now, waiting to see if there even 373 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: is this season, because they don't want to be the 374 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: one that steps up and says no, I don't want 375 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: to play if they don't have to, if there's not 376 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: going to be a season in the in the fall, 377 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: then they can just say, okay, well there's no season 378 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: in the fall, and they're certainly not going to play 379 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: in the spring. But you know, you're seeing some big 380 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: time receivers from the Big Ten Micah Parsons, the linebacker 381 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: from the Big Ten as well. You know, there's some 382 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: big names opting out with more to come, and I 383 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: do think it underscores to me Dan first of all, Yeah, 384 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're taking their future very seriously as potential 385 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: NFL players. But also there's this sensor or this feeling 386 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: that you know, college football is almost as much of 387 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: a risk as the reward these days for high level prospects. 388 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: It's like, this is something I have to go through 389 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: to get to the NFL, and all I get out 390 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: of this is potentially a torn acl as opposed to, 391 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: oh boy, I get to play college football. Yeah. I 392 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: don't know where we're headed, and I know that I've 393 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: had doubts, but they're they're substantiated, They're they're rooted in 394 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: actual reality, you know, because two sources have been with 395 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: me all along just to say this is going to happen. 396 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: They're going to try to do this. I'm just trying 397 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: to look at the likelihood that this is pulled off, 398 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: is what I think. The likelihood that we start is 399 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. The likelihood that we finish is ten ninety, 400 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: I would say, or of twenty eighty. I just think 401 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of things that could go wrong, 402 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: and when they do, I think you're going to see 403 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: administrators start getting a little bit squeamish and backing off. 404 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if there's gonna be a 405 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: lot of certain segment on campuses and in the general 406 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: public that are like, why are we doing this? Or 407 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: why is just FBS football doing this when everybody else 408 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: is going the other way and seeing we shouldn't play? 409 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: And I think the answer comes down to they want 410 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: the money, they need the money, and that answer may 411 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: not go over very well some people. Pad forty covers 412 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: a college athletics for Sports Illustrated, their senior writer joining 413 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: and Stan Patrick Show. Also, CBS Sports dot Com came 414 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: out with an article yesterday that talked about the NCAA, 415 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: as far as basketball goes, may try to bubble their teams. 416 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't know the possibility of doing something like that. Obviously, 417 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: you have less players and staff that you would have 418 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: to quarantine or bubble. The likelihood we could see a 419 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: college basketball season that closely resembles what we have in 420 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: Orlando as one, I think it's gonna be tough to 421 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: pull off. I can understand the theory. You know that 422 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: maybe you bring you know, half of a conference into Indianapolis, 423 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: if you're the Big ten or something, or Chicago and 424 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: you have you know, you play games for round the 425 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: clock or twelve hours a day for four days or whatever. 426 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: And get in as many games as you can something 427 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: like that. But geez, Louise, you know, it's tough, or 428 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: much tougher to pull off when you're talking about guys 429 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: that theoretically have classes even if they're not in person, 430 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: they still have classes online that you have other logistics 431 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: from other other sports on campus that you're trying to 432 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: take care of as well. I just think it's much 433 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: harder to do in a college setting than it would 434 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: be in a pro setting, and I just don't think 435 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: they can pull it off. He had a conference call 436 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: with the coaches in the Big Ten, and that was 437 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: on Monday, right, and we just got some details that 438 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: Jim Harball kept interrupting Ryan Day, the Ohio State head coach, 439 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: and basically accusing him of violating an NCAA rule. Now, 440 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: why isn't the media on that call? Or that we 441 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: don't have the audio from that. The media we're not 442 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: invited to most of those calls, I mean, but what 443 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: is it? What is the conference call? Forward? The coaches 444 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: get together and do what I don't know, probably talk 445 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: about you know, how many positive tests do you guys have? 446 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: How many of you guys have you know, that sort 447 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: of thing. But there's there's calls going on basically all 448 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: day every day in some of these leagues that we 449 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: hear nothing about, but we certainly heard about this one. 450 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Good, it's so good. I said earlier 451 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: in the show, Hardball wins the spring. He doesn't win 452 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: in the fall, but he wins the spring. He's always got, 453 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, a trip with his players. He's got something 454 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: to say here. And then Ryan Day, the Ohio State 455 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: head coach, reportedly told his players, we're gonna hang one 456 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: hundred on Michigan. And when they meet, that's at Ohio State. 457 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: And the last time they were there, they could have 458 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: easily put up eighty on him. That day they put 459 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: up sixty three or whatever. They could have put eighty 460 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: if they wanted to. Oh, they could. That's the thing. 461 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: I say, Hardball better get his points now because he's 462 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: not gonna get enough of them in the fall in 463 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: October when they play. So I, hey, I want this 464 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: is what we want out of Ohio State. Michigan just 465 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: absolutely hatred And yeah, if Brian taken run it up 466 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: on him, Hey, look out you just might Hey, good 467 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: to talk to you, Pat, have a good weekend and 468 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: let me know if you ever have any good news 469 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: to talk about with college football. I'll try to be 470 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: positive next week. All right. That's Pat forty covers college 471 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: athletics for Sports Illustrated after a while. That's why when 472 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: I hear members of the media saying, oh, there are 473 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: a certain faction of the media that's rooting for baseball 474 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: to collapse, the season will end, and I go, why 475 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: would I want something to end? That makes my job harder. Oh, 476 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: you don't want college football, So why do I want 477 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: college football not to happen? So I have we already 478 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: went through this. I went through three and a half 479 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: months where there was no sports whatsoever. I'm skeptical, but 480 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I'm not rooting for this. But I 481 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: can't understand where you have members of the media saying, 482 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, these guys are rooting for the sport to 483 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: not start or go away. I hope baseball has a 484 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: post seat. Why wouldn't I not want to root for that? 485 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: Or college football makes my job harder. When you have 486 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: games to talk about, you can exhale a little bit 487 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: instead of saying, hey, we might have fans in the stands, 488 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: Hey we might have a season we might start but 489 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: not finish. Like I hate bringing that news to you 490 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: every day, and you hate hearing it every day. But 491 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: that's why I just asked the people who I don't 492 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: think have a vested interest in this where they're blind. 493 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think that coaches are in denial right now. 494 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: And I asked Randy, yet so the Yukon head coach yesterday? 495 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: Now he didn't answer, he laughed, But I feel like 496 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: they're athletic directors, chancellor's presidents, coaches who are in denial 497 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: right now. Maybe they pull it off. Maybe you get 498 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: a couple of conferences that play football this year. Maybe 499 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: I hope. But in no way am I rooting for 500 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 1: the pandemic pandemic. You know, Vegas has got them listed 501 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: as a pretty impressive odds. But just saying I'm rooting 502 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: for the underdog here. College football. Yeah, that's what's wild 503 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: about college football compared to the NFL is that it's 504 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: a conference by conference decision. If the Big Ten says 505 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: we're shut it down, the SEC could say we'll play through, 506 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: and they'll get all the ratings and all the money. Yeah, 507 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: it's not Mark Emritt and the NCAA. They're like we've 508 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: said before, they're a way station for the cash. They 509 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: don't decide anything. A couple of phone calls in here 510 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: Amy and California joining us. Good morning Amy, what's on 511 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: your mind today? Hey? Good morning Dan five eight one 512 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: fifty doing a barefoot beach run here in beautiful Carl's Bad, 513 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: Nice California. I wanted to ribe you because when you 514 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: were talking about Dick Eversoll, he said that he wanted to, 515 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, get the non sports fans to watch, and 516 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: your group was the wives, the mothers, and the daughters. 517 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: So I had to call you in Ribia because girls 518 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: are sports fans too, and just calling to just give 519 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: you a little give you a little rib there. Well 520 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: it's not just women, thank you, Amy, But this is 521 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: the strategy for decades. Yeah. I'm not making it up 522 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: or throwing in that demographic here. I'm just saying that 523 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to make diehard sports fans are going to 524 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: watch men and women, but his goal was to get 525 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: the casual. He wanted your mom watching. She might not 526 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: have been a diehard sports fan, or your daughters to watch. 527 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: They might not be diehard sports fans. So I don't 528 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: I if I came off as sexist. Then I apologize. 529 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: That's not what I was trying to I'm just conveying 530 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: what the message was. It's not my opinion. It's just 531 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: that's how you get a large audience because you get everybody, 532 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: it's it's more inclusive. And that was the strategy with 533 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: the Olympics. Casual sports fans are going to watch. Uh, 534 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: let me see how about Alex in Minnesota? Hi, Alex, 535 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Hey? Then? Uh? Five 536 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: eight a hard quarantine too? Ten har um. I gotta 537 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: shout up for mcloven and you pretty much. Um. So 538 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: you guys gonna be like the Chiefs. Since you guys 539 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: got Ethan, now you're gonna trade mcloven away and see 540 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: you guys can win that sports. I mean, wow, wow, 541 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: Alex on a Friday, Yes, mclove was that his name 542 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: was Alex? Yeah? Was that Alex Smith? It could have 543 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: been Alex Smith because he could relate to your situation. 544 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: Ethan is the Patrick Mahomes in waiting here right, And 545 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: I ripped Alex Smith to day he signed a seventy 546 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: five million dollars contract. Now if I can get a 547 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars contract with the Redskins or the 548 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: then that'd be an okay, Landy spot, yeah, or another show. 549 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: Have you seen Alex Smith has been playing a little? Yeah, 550 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: could happen. Maybe it's a Redskins I don't know. I 551 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: mean to be an unbelievable comeback story. I couldn't get 552 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: through that documentary. I could not get through it because 553 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy who So you imagine you 554 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: go to work that day, you're playing in a game, 555 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: and then the next thing you know is you might 556 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: lose your leg. And when it comes to football injuries, 557 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: that's not a traditional one. But god, you can't help it. 558 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: Root for Alex Smith. And imagine this that San Francisco 559 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: moved on from him and brought in Colin Kaepernick, and 560 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs moved on from him to bring 561 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: in Patrick Mahomes. And then you go to Washington and 562 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: you think that's going to be your team and then 563 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: this happens.

Now, 600 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: the French Kid one day, I think he had a 601 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: chicken wing in his mouth or's something.

Who says there's not 628 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: a home field advantage in baseball. Philadelphia Phillies might not 629 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: have fans inside Citizens Ballpark, but that didn't stop some 630 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: of the supporters from getting the attention of Aaron Boone, 631 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: the Yankees manager. On Thursday, a group of fans gathered 632 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: behind the fence, the center field fence, the center field concourse, 633 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: and they were blowing an airhorn when the Yankees starter 634 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomery was making his pitches. So Aaron Boone, the manager, 635 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: goes out to the umpires and wants them to do 636 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: something about it, but since the fans were outside, not 637 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: in the stadium, the umpires had no recourse. After the 638 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: Phillies broadcast mentioned that Boone's visit to the umpires, the 639 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: fans began chanting Boone's name, but they did not stop 640 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: blowing the airhorns during the pitches. I'm gonna guess this 641 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: is just the start of it. It's probably gonna get 642 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: a little worse there in these stadiums yes time. I 643 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 1: have a lot of empathy for Aaron Boone because when 644 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: I was eight years old pitching in Little League, the 645 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: other team in the third based Dug I was screaming 646 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: and yelling, we want a pitcher, not a billy itch, 647 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: and all the things to try to distract me. And 648 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: it was my first year in Little League and I 649 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: didn't realize that that's something that you can do. And 650 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: it was really bother me. I'm walking, guys, I'm losing focus. 651 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: I call time out and I go over to the 652 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: first base dug out and I waived my coach over, 653 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: my manager and he meets me at the down the 654 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: first baseline. He's like, what's the matter? Go The other 655 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: team's making all this noise. I really can't concentrate with 656 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: the pitching. Instead of him telling me, you know they're 657 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: allowed to do that, I guess he wanted me to 658 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: learn a lesson. He goes, why don't you go tell 659 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: the home plate up? Would you just told me? So? 660 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: I waved a home plate up and lets me between 661 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: the catcher and the mount Then I go, yeah, I'm 662 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 1: trying to pitch here and the other team is screaming 663 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: and yelling at me. Can you make them stop? Son? 664 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: Go back on the mountain pitch. If you said somebody 665 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: was gonna tell me that story today and it was 666 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: one of the Danettes, I would have bet my life 667 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: that it wouldn't been you, It would have been telling 668 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: me that story. Yes, Eton. One of my favorite memories 669 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: of Little League is actually about my cousin. His last 670 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: name is Felice, and there was this one kid named 671 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: Kevin Mannion and he used to alway every time that 672 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: my cousin was pitching. This one kid he was the 673 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: only voice that would do it would go Falice na 674 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: and somewhere about the fourth inning, if my cousin was 675 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: still pitching, of hearing Falice Nabi Dade, he would step 676 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: off the mound and go the best and ask Kevin 677 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: man big smile on his face for aleast mean Jeff 678 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: and Milwaukee joined us. Hi, Jeff, what do you have 679 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: for me today? The DP that's the least surprising for 680 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: its story ever. Yeah, I've been watching. I've been thinking 681 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: about your watchability argument or your topic. It's it's intriguing 682 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: with how it relates to Jannis Um. We have a 683 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 1: CEO that tried to use the honest as a story 684 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: of you know, teamwork and working hard and stuff didn't 685 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: go well. He's a casual sports fan at best, but 686 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: he tried the point is he's endlessly fascinated by Jannie. 687 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: It's his backstory, his work ethic, his ability on the court, 688 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: what he sees on the court, and so I just 689 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: think that he does have those qualities. But I'll give 690 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: you a flip side. I've turned a lot of Bucks 691 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: games off this year because they're just killing dudes, So 692 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: I do see your point. I think Gianness had more 693 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: to watchability, maybe not as much as Lebron, but he 694 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: should be in at the same category. Well, talent wise, 695 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: he is, but as far as too an in factor, 696 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: he's not. He might be the best player in the game, 697 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: win an MVP. Again. We heard his backstory last year, 698 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: and see Lebron reinvented himself this year with the Lakers 699 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: playoff team got Anthony Davis led the league in assist 700 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: so he kind of recreated something, but he also reinvented 701 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: himself and then it became a really unique story and 702 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: they were the number one team in the West. We 703 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: had heard the Greek freak story, then we move on 704 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: from that. That's how you know Steve Nash was a 705 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: great story was the MVP. He was MVP twice. Shack 706 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: should have won it one of those times, but we 707 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: had already heard Shack's story, James Harden was a new story. 708 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook was a new story. And it doesn't mean 709 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: that they didn't turn in great seasons. It's it's a 710 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: great story to tell. You know, Jordan didn't win, Carl 711 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,959 Speaker 1: Malone won an MVP, Charles Barkley won an MV. Pick 712 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: who was the most valuable player in the league Michael Jordan, 713 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: But Carl Malone wasn't tune in factor worthy. But Utah 714 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: Jazz would win sixty plus games. And I think you 715 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: have to be able to separate greatness and tune in 716 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: factor because Carl Malone was great but not tune in factor. 717 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the casual fan. I mean, there's 718 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: only a few of those athletes that we've seen, Like 719 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: Tiger changed it for everybody because you know, with social media, 720 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: you know Tiger, if Tiger was playing in Tiger was 721 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, on the back nine of a major, people 722 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 1: tuned in. They were watching something they hadn't seen before. 723 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,919 Speaker 1: Non golf fans would watch. If Michael Jordan was playing now, 724 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: the tune in factor would be remarkable if he was 725 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: able to do what he did back in the nineties. 726 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: But how many of those athletes. Do we have Steph 727 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: Curry became tune in factor worthy because just his size, 728 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: how far he shot from and they were winning, you 729 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: win championships, So you know, the casual fan, that's all. 730 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 1: That's what you're looking for. Can you get the casual fan? Yeah, McLevin, 731 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: did they hockey? You'll ever get another Gretzky like Connor McDavid. Well, 732 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: you may have that. You know, City Crosby was great, 733 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: but he wasn't tune in factor worthy. How about McDavid. Man, 734 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: you listen to some of these analysts there and they 735 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: talk about his footwork and his high as I hand 736 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: coordination and his speed and they say it's nobody, nobody's 737 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 1: ever had that combination like it. But is he playing 738 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: on the big stage. He's twenty three years of age. 739 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: You got Gretzky one Edmonton. We cared about Edmonton. And 740 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: then he goes to the Kings. You know, we cared 741 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: about him. They were playing for championship, they were in 742 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup final. You're watching them and you were 743 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: watching something we want to see, something we haven't seen before. Noah, 744 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: that's what you know. Michael did that to all the 745 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: NBA players We're like, okay, and we've seen this before. 746 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is putting up something that we haven't seen before, 747 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: and we thought we'd seen it with Joe Montana and 748 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: we did, and then Tom Brady came along, and then 749 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: we don't bring up Joe Montana anymore. You know, baseball, 750 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: We're still waiting for who is that next guy that 751 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: you go, I gotta watch that guy. Golf is going 752 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: to have a hard time replacing Tiger. Who is the 753 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: guy that you actually tune in to watch and you 754 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: could get ratings? All right? One more hour to go, 755 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: more phone calls as well, Age seven seven three DP show. 756 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about a great golf story 757 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: coming up at about five ten minutes from now here 758 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: on The Dan Patrick Show.
